▫️A full ceasefire could make it possible to move to diplomacy, but putin does not want that.
▫️putin cannot be trusted, he wants to completely destroy Ukraine, and if Ukraine does not hold, he will move further.

▫️Global security is at stake right now. putin’s goal is to restore the russian empire and reclaim territories currently protected by NATO. The situation could escalate into a world war, there will be no safe place anywhere.

▫️We are ready to buy a defense package from the United States, in particular European partners are ready to help finance it.
▫️putin has spent over a trillion dollars on this war. His factories are working at full capacity, producing as much weaponry as the whole of Europe.
